Ever since Black Ops, xbox has been getting dlc a month before us. All im asking is why(i heard microsoft has a contract with treyarch). And even if they do why is the wait so long cant it be like 2 weeks.

the contract was from 2009 - 2012 and because Black Ops 2 was released in 2012 the contract still stands, and 1 month is just what they agreed on, yeah it sucks but we cant do anything about it, i just take it as a month to learn the maps that way when ps3 gets them i am prepared.

Hey xboxs are $50 off right now plus the game is only 39 bucks lol. I think just before the dlc comes out I'll be picking up another copy and maybe a season pass for it, then one for the ps3 if there goog...ok even if there not good i would still buy the maps lol.

Xbox users have to pay to play so it doesn't bother me that I have to wait. I think in the long run Activision actually loses money from customers because of this deal, but the money from Microsoft must make up for it. They get the map a month early, but no money comes out of my pocket to play online. If Sony being smart and not wasting money to get the maps a few weeks early keeps me from paying to play online, I am all for it.

Yeah. If XBOX peeps wanna pay an annual fee just to play online then I have no issues with them getting DLC's first. They are, sorta, paying a premium to play so they should have a little more benefit since more money is involved. But this is all Sony's fault for not wanting to make any effort to address this issue. If they had bought into getting the DLC's first then PS3 users might also have to pay to play online as well. We get online multiplayer for free so I see no issue with being a month behind in getting the DLC. We're all COD players here so we should all be used to lagging behind. And besides, they're just maps. Whenever the new maps come out, people always complain about them anyways so unless you wanna be one of the first to complain about new maps, I don't really see any issue with who gets the DLC first or not.

I bought the DLC for previous titles, and the wait didn't bother me too much then, and it won't bother me now either because the chances of me buying it are between slim and none.

Why would anyone want to pay for new enviroments (maps) where they are owned by lag, and since the playerpool is smaller with DLC it's only more likely to happen. I have done this mistake in the past, and now i refuse to spend more money on a product that doesn't work.

Maybe if they fix all the lagging and poor matchmaking issues (i'm sure they won't), i'll get some DLC. I know there are people who do not suffer from lag, but as the majority does, i think many of us really don't care if we have to wait an extra month to activate the additional lag in the form of playing with DLC.
